The new collection is heavily inspired by nature, looking at shapes and details within traditional British flowers. Colours such as sweet pea cerise, freesia white, peachy rose and black orchid have been used to recreate the style and beauty of nature. Embellishments are made on each item using gathered frill – made from silk and lace – and outlining the delicate silhouette of flowers such as English Primrose.
New shapes for this season include a stunning padded silk balcony bra, and the new skirted tap pant. Classic styles returning include the Ayten Gasson signature skirted knickers, and vintage inspired teddies. Matching silk padded eyemasks, still made in house, are available for each range.
Each lace trim is sourced locally from the old lace mills in Nottingham, UK, some dating back over 30 years. All production is kept in the UK, in units based in Wales and London, focusing on quality in each item. “Nottingham lace is renowned for its high quality and beauty with Leavers lace being the most exceptional. Sadly with the demand for this lace falling it is no longer produced in high quantities. This is why I am constantly sourcing vintage lace to create something unique”, Ayten explains.
One of our laces comes from one of the last remaining lace makers in Nottingham, Roger Watson, who supplied lace for both Diana Princess of Wales and Sarah Ferguson’s wedding dresses. So it is of the highest quality.
